Rural irrigation price path

Seqwater supplies water to around 1400 rural irrigation customers across South East Queensland, supporting dairy production, vegetable and grain crops, fruit and nut production, fodder crops and various other local primary producers.

The price of rural water across seven schemes and nine tariff groups is set by the Queensland Competition Authority, with the next review now underway.

If you're an Seqwater irrigation customer, you've come to the right place to have your say on the price path for rural water from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2024.
